Rep. Raskin announces cancer diagnosis
The Hill ^ | 12/28/22 5:27 PM ET | BY BRAD DRESS

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) on Wednesday revealed he has been diagnosed with “a serious but curable form of cancer.”

Raskin said in a statement he was diagnosed with a common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that affects white blood cells in the body’s immune system.

The 60-year-old lawmaker said he was beginning chemo-immunotherapy at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C.

“I expect to be able to work through this period but have been cautioned by my doctors to reduce unnecessary exposure to avoid COVID-19, the flu and other viruses,” he said.

Raskin said he was specifically diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, which usually develops in the lymph nodes deep inside the body. While fast-growing and aggressive, the cancer is treatable.

“And what we are seeing is not (yet) Kaposi’s sarcoma but Lymphomas and Leukaemias and rare aggressive cancers. Don’t just take my word for it - ask Professor Angus Dalgleish, one of the few clinicians to speak out.”

This dude is a hoplophobe, a homosexualist, a socialist, and an abortionist.

He needs to repent while he still can.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Hope he has the same fate as his son awhile back. A real POS.

Pessimist.

Irony; the good thing for him is that Rush Limbaugh did a lot of fundraising for the Leukemia and lymphoma society. I hope that someone raises this point with him.

https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2007/04/20/leukemia_lymphoma_society_fact_sheet/

"THE MISSION: To cure the blood cancers Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin’s Disease, and Myeloma and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. The fight is on for 740,000 patients and their families living with these diseases today, as well as 110,000 newly diagnosed patients every year. Duringone broadcast, 18 people will die of one of these cancers."

"When you donate to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, nearly 75% of the money goes directly to research, patients, and support services. Folks, I know these people at The Society. They’re some of the finest, most committed people I’ve ever met — most them touched in some way by these cancers. Their friends, their family — even themselves — have been hit by these potential killers and that’s what spurs the work they do."

Askin is our Worst enemy, just like his MARXIST, KGB connected father (via the communist significantly funded Institute for Policy Studies - Samuel Rubin Foundation, for one).

There are evil people in this world destroy lives and societies. They must be defeated and eliminated which you can do in a war, but here at home, they get elected as Democrats, to Congress.

Our politicians on the Left are traitors, be they dupes or followers or outright reds. They are the Enemy, period.

Ps. I died for a few minutes from cardiac arrest, just had my third surgery for skin cancer, and survived pancreatic cancer, end of Stage 1. I’m still kicking because I want to protect my country and family. Been doing it for nearly 60 years. I’m sure Raskin wouldn’t give a Damn about me, just as his father didn’t.

The feeling is mutual.

There can be no compromise with evil!!! And Raskin is pure evil!!

Me either. As much as I despise the evil dirty rat I wish him the best. Only because My sister died of colon cancer and it was a horrible death. Instead of saying I hope he gets cured I’m going to say I hope he is saved. Because there is a heaven and a hell…eternity is real. He will be judged by what he has done with the power God has granted him. Because not many are given the opportunity by God to govern over people. Where much is given much is required! He’s screwed! Jesus is the only way! Repent!

I was waiting for someone to point out the need for repentance. Thanks.

He looks closer to 70YO

I was thinking closer to 80! He doesn't look well.

Hope you are doing much better and feeling much better, for yourself and your family and friends. The longer we live, the tougher it gets. Life is certainly no picnic.

If he had any class, he’d retire and tend to his illness and family.
